Nie Dequan stated that according to Article 5 of the Regulations, if there is a vacancy in the election committee, the Electoral Affairs Commission needs to arrange a subsector by-election in accordance with the EAC Regulations to fill the vacancy. In other words, if there is a need for a by-election before the replacement of the first envoy in 2022, the EAC will need to conduct a by-election on the vacancies in the 102 District Councils.

In fact, after the victory of the democratic district elections, if the electoral committee is vacant for by-elections, 102 seats will inevitably fall into their hands, but even if there is no by-election, in the 2021 electoral committee re-election, 117 district electoral committees will become pan-elections. People's sack. Take the 2017 chief executive election as an example. If the pan-democracy took 102 more votes, plus Zeng Junhua's 365 votes at that time, there would be nearly 467 votes, which is only 134 votes away from the threshold of 601 votes.
